About me
I help people find their way to feeling happier, more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Clients come to me because something isn’t working for them and they want to change that.
I'm warm and approachable and can help if you want to feel more connected with yourself, for life to feel more manageable, or to improve your relationships - be they romantic, sexual, platonic or familial.
Perhaps you're already creating change for yourself and need support navigating the gap between here and where you're heading. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, uncertain or overwhelmed, finding it hard to progress things that are important to you. Perhaps difficult experiences from your past may have become obstacles to you being who you want to be in the present.
Having a space to explore what’s happening for you and to look at things from new angles can enable you to understand yourself and others better, leading to improved communication and relationships and greater trust in yourself, your judgement and your abilities.
I see individuals and also offer relationship counselling to couples. My approach is affirming, whether or not neurodivergence or GSRD (gender, sex and/or relationship diversity) relate directly to our work together.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I am bound by their code of ethics.
Continuing my learning and development as an Integrative counsellor is very important to me, and I have most recently attended workshops or courses on Avoiding Harm in Therapy for Neurodivergent Clients, Palliative Care and Mental Health, Sensorimotor Therapy, and Couple Counselling.
Previously, I have been a counsellor for the organisations Suffolk Mind, Women's Aid, Iceni Project, and Mentis Tree CIC.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
